Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese and one of the true pioneers of the video game industry, joins us to unpack a lifetime of invention, risk-taking, and playful disruption. With a background as an engineer-entrepreneur who helped define interactive entertainment, Nolan shares hard-earned lessons on protecting and sharing your big idea, when to patent, when to prototype fast, and how openness can fuel adoption without handing away your future.
